Nowadays the only thing close to VMS in spirit is Windows, although it requires a good dosis of Windows Internals and MSDN/Technet archelogy to get that point.

Naturally it is only as inspiration, for the real deal OpenVMS.

I keep seeing this a lot. What spirit of VMS survived in Windows ? Security in windows is a disaster, clustering nonexistent, filesystem is edges behind.

Every OS security is a disaster when running as root.

As for everything else, there is enough literature available when one cares to actually learn about it.
